The Qilin Is Born!
"Have you heard? Lu Changsheng has completely entered the Mahayana realm in the Exquisite Holy Land, his Words Become Law become law, and he has forged all laws!"
"What? You've already Mahayana? You've only been cultivating for three years!"
"Words Become Law? Really?"
"This is going to be quite a show at the Tianjiao Heavenly Pride Gathering."
"What? Senior Brother Lu has comprehended the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique? He cultivated with the Holy Maiden and entered the Mahayana Realm?"
"Huh? Senior Brother Lu fused all laws, deduced all laws in the world, and finally deduced the terrifying and Supreme Dual Cultivation Great Law. He cultivated with the Exquisite Holy Maiden and the Exquisite Holy Lord, and finally evolved Tai Chi, ascending to heaven in broad daylight!"
"Incredible! Senior Brother Lu Changsheng, in the Exquisite Holy Land, comprehended the Dual Cultivation Technique and fought fiercely with three thousand disciples of the Exquisite Holy Land for three days and three nights. In the end, the entire Exquisite Holy Land Ascension in Broad Daylight."
Rumors, like snowflakes, flew out and spread throughout the entire Central Province.
Some people who know the truth can't help but wonder what caused the rumors to spread so widely.
Some people, unaware of the truth, believed it to be true and wept bitterly, crying out, "My holy maiden!"
Upon hearing this news, Qingyun Daoist burst into tears.
"My disciple, how could you bear Three Thousand Female Cultivators? It breaks my heart! Exquisite Holy Lord, I never thought you would take advantage of such a young woman. Even if you have been lonely for six thousand years, you can't harm my disciple. If you have any problems, come at me."
"Chang Sheng, I'm so sorry. If I had known this would happen, I would have accompanied you on your adventures."
Qingyun Daoist was deeply saddened, for he was unaware of the truth and had mistaken it for reality.
However, it is undeniable that this matter attracted widespread attention in Central Province, and even overshadowed the Celestial Origin Holy Ground Realm at one point.
After all, Lu Changsheng, dual cultivation, and the Exquisite Holy Land —these words inevitably evoke a lot of speculation.
But soon, dissenting voices arose.
"That's utter nonsense. I've had the honor of meeting the Exquisite Holy Maiden once. She's absolutely otherworldly and perfect. A woman like her can be called a fairy. How could she possibly cultivate with a mortal like Lu Changsheng?"
The voice came from a young powerhouse in the Eastern Land. He was a close friend of Wang Xuanji and also a prodigy in his own right.
"That's right, the Exquisite Holy Maiden is a true fairy. What's this talk about dual cultivation? In order to highlight Lu Changsheng, it's necessary to belittle the Exquisite Holy Maiden."
"Does Central Province simply enjoy producing lies?"
A series of voices rang out, coming from cultivators from the Eastern Land.
This is normal. Since ancient times, each region has had its own sense of superiority, and at the same time, it will slightly belittle the cultivators of other regions.
The Central Province is a sacred land, rich in talent and spiritual energy, while the Eastern Land are also a land abundant in Spiritual Qi. The two great domains are inherently mutually displeased, and have fought openly and secretly countless times.
The Eastern Land are naturally aware of Lu Changsheng's actions these days, but the reason they don't speak of it is quite simple.
They were unconvinced and didn't believe that such an outstanding person had emerged from Central Province.
However, it soon became clear that the cultivators of Central Province were not to be trifled with.
"It's utterly ridiculous. Not only are they ignorant and foolish, but they also come out here to embarrass themselves."
Zhou Long of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the first to speak up. He was the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was very strong and was a famous genius in Central Province. He immediately spoke up to support Lu Changsheng.
"The cultivators from the Eastern Land are all narrow-minded and ignorant. It's utterly laughable. It seems that some arrogant and conceited cultivators from the Eastern Land have come to this Heavenly Pride Gathering."
The Yin Yang Holy Son also responded immediately.
"How could you possibly fathom the true nature of the Emperor's tutor?"
In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qian Yiyuan also spoke up and retaliated.
"I didn't expect that after all these years, the Eastern Land is still the same. Can you really overshadow my Senior Brother Changsheng with just words?"
The Shu Gate Holy Son spoke, giving the most direct answer.
"Still a bunch of useless trash!"
The Purple Azure Holy Son was even more direct, starting to hurl insults.
But soon, the cultivators from the Eastern Land gave a strong and powerful response.
It can be said that the atmosphere was already tense even before the Heavenly Pride Gathering began, and the grudges between the Eastern Land and the Central Province were laid bare.
But soon, a voice rang out, attracting even stronger people.
"I heard about Lu Changsheng a while ago. He was a Daoist Eldest Senior Brother, a traveler in the Central Province, and Teacher of the Buddha's Disciple. It was all just hype."
This is Li Rulong's voice.
He was the most representative prodigy of the Eastern Land, unruly and terrifyingly powerful. His words brought the war of words to a climax.
It can be said that the Heavenly Pride Gathering was a hit even before it aired.
All the talents in the world are turning their attention to the Heavenly Pride Gathering, not only because of the Celestial Origin Holy Ground, but mainly because this time, the Eastern Land have indeed produced several peerless prodigies, as have the Southern Ridges, and even the Northern Pole Land, which has always been relatively cold, has produced two young kings.
Central Province, however, was rather conventional, which inexplicably made it seem somewhat awkward.
After all, Central Province has always been extraordinary in every era, but in this era, although the Holy Son of Central Province are powerful, they are not quite as good as those of the other major regions.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng emerged.
Naturally, the younger generation of cultivators in Central Province praised Lu Changsheng to the skies, especially since Lu Changsheng was indeed extraordinary.
Especially those who have met Lu Changsheng, who isn't impressed by Lu Changsheng?
The Five Great Holy Lands are basically all loyal fans of Lu Changsheng. Even if the other Five Great Holy Lands have never met Lu Changsheng, they have heard of him and naturally, they also blindly worship and follow him.
Now that the cultivators from the Eastern Land have humiliated Lu Changsheng in this way, it has naturally aroused public outrage.
That's why it has sparked such widespread discussion.
Soon, a message came that Lu Changsheng was currently in the Exquisite Holy Land, comprehending the supreme Dao, and would overpower all the geniuses on the day of the Heavenly Pride Gathering.
However, at this very moment, in the Exquisite Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng was indeed sitting on a mountaintop, deep in thought.
However, he wasn't pondering any Daoist principles.
Instead, he was pondering what exactly his Golden Core Realm talent was.
The Great Dao Surround, the Dao Method Self-Formation, Words Become Law.
Logically speaking, the higher one's realm, the stronger one's talent should be.
Theoretically, the talent of someone at the Golden Core Realm should be ridiculously strong.
But his failure to appear caused Lu Changsheng great distress.
Just as Lu Changsheng was troubled...
Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda trembled.
In an instant, the pagoda shook violently, emitting a golden light.
"What happened?"
Lu Changsheng frowned.
He used his Divine Sense to examine the scene inside the Profound Yellow Pagoda.
Soon, Lu Changsheng was astonished.
Inside the tower, the three-legged sand sculpture—oh, no, it was Three-legged Golden Crow— transformed into an incomparably blazing light, like a sun.
Then the light intensified and gradually formed a Qilin.
Meanwhile.
Clusters of auspicious, dark yellow clouds gathered above the Exquisite Holy Land.
